The Archive — restoring and deleting yachts

Reading Fleet → Archive, bringing an archived yacht back to the fleet, and permanently deleting one.

  • Management

Fleet → Archive lists every yacht your company has archived. The page heading reads Fleet → Archive, and the row below counts the entries under the label Yachts. How a yacht gets here, and what changes when it does, is covered in Archiving a yacht.

Every management user — Management Admin, Management User and Management Viewer — can open the Archive and read it. Only a Management Admin sees the buttons that change anything.

Looking at an archived yacht

The list itself shows only a row number and the yacht's Name. Click the row, or its View details button, to open a summary titled with the yacht's name: Type, IMO, Call Sign, Model, GT, Flag, Class Society, MMSI, Official No., Builder, LOA, Build Year and Total Power. Close dismisses it. Nothing on this screen can be edited — an archived yacht's details are frozen until it is restored.

Restoring a yacht

Move to main list returns the yacht to Fleet → All. Everything comes back with it: crew, documents, certificates, tasks, calendar entries and its full history. The yacht becomes editable again, its crew regain access, and a Vessel restored entry is added to its History log.

Restoring takes a slot on the yacht's license again, so it only works if that license has room. When the license is already full, the button is greyed out and a tooltip explains that you have reached the yacht limit for that license and should go to Billing to increase it. Free a slot — by archiving another yacht on the same license — or raise the limit, and the button becomes available again.

Permanently deleting a yacht

Permanently delete destroys the yacht and everything attached to it. This cannot be undone, and there is no way to get the data back afterwards. Only a Management Admin sees the button, and it is offered only here in the Archive — an active yacht is archived first. If the yacht still has the on-board app installed, you must decommission the on-board app before the yacht can be deleted.

Because it is irreversible, deletion is confirmed by email:

  1. Click Permanently delete on the yacht's row. A warning headed Remove the yacht's name appears, stating that all data will be permanently deleted. No, Go Back! cancels.
  2. Choose Yes, Remove it!. Nauticare emails a four-digit code to the address you are signed in with. The code is valid for four hours.
  3. Enter the code and choose Confirm. If the code is wrong the field says so and a Resend Code. link appears; Back returns you to the previous step.
  4. A final screen confirms the yacht has been removed, and it disappears from the Archive.

Everything belonging to the yacht goes with it: its photo and logo, its crew assignments, its vessel documents and the files behind them, the categories it was set up with, the forms filled in on it, its controlled-document assignments, its tasks, calendar entries, departments, equipment and components, inventory, guests, messages, finance records, budgets, quotes and vendors, the rules that decide which documents and forms it requires, and any pending owner invitation for that yacht. If the yacht was connected to a telemetry source, the connection is released so the source can be used again.

Two things are deliberately left alone. User accounts are not deleted — the people simply lose their assignment to a vessel that no longer exists, and each person keeps their own crew certificates, which belong to them rather than to the yacht. Company-level records also stay untouched, including the controlled documents, form templates and crew-document definitions held in the company Database.
